general purpose medium is a media that provides enough nutrients in which most any microorganism will utilize for growth. Allows for a wide variety of microorganisms to grow. It can be used for a wide range of applications including; culture storage, enumeration (counting), isolation of pure cultures or simply general culture. e.g. Tryptocase Soy Agar (TSA) Tryptocase Soy Broth (TSB) Nutrient Agar

What is enrichment media in microbiology?
Enriched media is different from Enrichment media... Enriched media: Blood and other special nutrients may be added to general purpose media to encourage the growth of fastidious microbes. These specially forfited media are called as enriched media. e.g. Blood agar, Chocolate agar. Enrichment media: This is a media which promotes the growth of a particular organism by providing it with the essential nutrients and rarely contains certain inhibitory substance to prevent the growth of normal competitors. e.g. Selenite F broth- this media favours thegrowth of Salmonella also prevents the growth of normal competitors like E. coli . but E.Coli do not perish in the medium but they do not flourish like Salmonella
